abstract logic question?

[cardosocea]

The question:
Is there some tricky way to assign a variable to another w/o using an '=' sign.
I.E. some tricky logic operation similar to how you can run an XOR on the same variable to clear the word?

Clear the word and Bit OR it with whatever value you want to move?

Pascal is great for learning but who uses it any more?
I don't see Pascal on this list
https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/blog/most-popular-programming-languages/

That list is rather flawed. Python, JavaScript, R and PHP are scripting languages and not in the same league.
I think you would be suprised how many applications are actually pascal based. Usually you wont know until you look.

That said i certainly see the appeal of the almost assembly but higher level of C.
I dont mind C, but the syntax is very messy and its very easy to create security risks.
Im much more in favour of Rust.
Also curly brackets are incredibly hard to produce on european keyboards, in that case its faster to type begin..end.
